CORIGLIANO, John 1938-... One Sweet Morning for mezzo soprano and orchestra. Autograph musical sketchleaf for the work composed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Titled and signed by the composer. Undated, but 2010.... 1 page. Oblong folio, 280 x 420 mm. Notated in pencil on light green 16-stave printed Aztec XX-16 music paper. 7 measures of the opening of the work in condensed score occupying the upper 7 staves. Originally titled "Skylines" and altered to "One Sweet Morning." With an autograph note in the composer's hand "Discarded opening of song cycle 'One Sweet Morning' John Corigliano." Corigliano, a multi-award-winning American composer, was commissioned by Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic to compose a work to commemorate the 10th anniversary of September 11th 2001. One Sweet Morning, with text by Milosz, Homer, Li Po, and Harburg, was first performed on September 11th 2011 by the Philharmonic with Stephanie Blythe as soloist and praised by music critics including Anthony Tommasini: "With a viscerally emotional score One Sweet Morning shifts in mood from ruminative to bellicose, from mystical to wrenching. Mr. Corigliano has long drawn from diverse styles to fashion his musical voice.... the skill and vision at play are impressive." The New York Times, October 2, 2011"Ten years later, that day is more calmly remembered as just one in a continuum of terrible days. September 11th, 2001 was discrete and specific: but war and its anguishes have been with us forever. I needed a cycle of songs that would embed 9/11 into that larger story. So I chose four poems (one of them part of an epic poem) from different ages and countries.The first poem-- Czeslaw Milosz's "A Song on the End of the World," written in Warsaw in 1944-- sets a tranquil scene: a vista of serenity that still hints at the possibility of chaos to come. The poet's descriptions of everyday matters turn chilling when he notes, "No one believes it is happening now." My setting for these words is hushed and motionless, never rising in volume and intensity.Shattering the calm is the second poem: that portion of Homer's Iliad chronicling a massacre led by the Greek prince Patroclus. Each kill is described in detail; the music, too, strives for the brutal and unsparing."War South of the Great Wall," by the 8th century poet Li Po, follows. Its cool, atmospheric language views a bloody battle from a great remove: warriors seem to "swarm like armies of ants." The narrator's poise collapses only when she reveals "my husband - my sons - you'll find them all there, out where war-drums throb and throb." Her anguish, and the battle that is its cause, surge in an orchestral interlude, climaxing with the orchestra alone meditating on the narrator's themes.The orchestra, diminishing in intensity, introduces the poem that gives the cycle its name: "One Sweet Morning," by E. Y. ("Yip") Harburg, a name that might surprise audiences who know it principally from his sparkling lyrics for such plays and movies as "The Wizard of Oz" and "Finian's Rainbow." But Harburg also wrote a few volumes of light and not-so-light verse, and it was in one of those that I came upon this deep and tender lyric."One Sweet Morning" ends the cycle with the dream of a world without war - an impossible dream, perhaps, but certainly one worth dreaming. In this short poem, Harburg paints a beautiful scene where "the rose will risespring will bloompeace will come.one sweet morning." john corigliano.com....

Neilson, Heidi.Orbital Debris Simulator New York:: Women's Studio Workshop,, 2010.. Edition of 70. 10.25 x 8"; 24 pages. Letterpress printed with screenprinted images. Text printed in Future on Rives heavyweight paper. Viewable in 3D with enclosed anaglyph glasses. Bound with aluminum clovers and black cloth spine. Heidi Neilson: "Orbital Debris Simulator describes the phenomena of ?space junk? in the earth?s orbit, showing points of interest between the moon and the earth such as geosynchronous orbit, medium earth orbit, and the International Space Station. Images of space toys ? spaceships and action figures from various science fiction ?universes? as well as replicas of actual spacecraft ? are used as stand-ins for the orbital debris itself." Introduction: "Orbital debris consists of defunct objects in earth's orbit created by people in the process of space exploration, such as used rocket stages, defunct satellites, explosion and collision fragments, coolant released by nuclear powered satellites, and nuts and bolts. These items eventually burn up when they fall to earth, but while some items in low orbit will fall in a few weeks, others in high orbit may orbit for centuries. Since the trajectories of spacecraft pass through these orbits, collisions with debris at standard orbital speeds of 15,000 - 25,000 miles per hour are a serious concern." Heidi Neilson: "I wanted to use the metal for the cover for its spaceship-y-ness. You?ll find that it fingerprints easily (aluminum) but the fingerprints also clean off easily with windex on a paper towel. The covers will also probably get scratched (and are a little already in addition to the sandblasted title) but this is fine--planned and appropriate even--as the text references scratches, dings and abrasions from the impact of orbital debris on spacecraft.

With incredible attention to detail, he has chosen photographs representing the most significant moments in his career: from a schoolboy with a rock-a-billy quiff through his extensive work as a session musician; from The Yardbirds through Led Zeppelin, including later reunions with the band and Robert Plant, and his other projects and appearances culminating with the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It includes a mixture of iconic portraits, rare and unseen images from Jimmy's own archive, visas, photos and stamps from his passports, and much more. Jimmy's own words take the form of extended captions, which describe and document pivotal moments and events. It is an unequaled historical document and the definitive visual record of a remarkable life of music.

[Captain SCOTT]. [SOUTH POLAR TIMES]. Apsley CHERRY-GARRARD, ed.The South Polar Times IV. Introduced by Ann Savours with the First Facsimile of 'The South Polar Times, Volume IV', edited by Apsley Cherry-Garrard and published on Midwinter Day, 1912. 500 COPIES WERE PRINTED Scott Polar Research Institute, [Cambridge], [2010]. 8vo., First Edition, with coloured frontispiece, tinted title-vignette, coloured and tinted mounted plates (many with captioned tissue guards), and numerous coloured illustrations (several full-page) in the text; navy buckram, upper board lettered in gilt enclosing coloured illustration mounted in gilt frame, gilt back, blue silk marker, a fine copy. EDITION LIMITED TO 500 NUMBERED COPIES. The South Polar Times is a magazine created by members of Captain Scott's two expeditions to entertain themselves during the four months of Antarctic winter. Produced in typescript and illustrated with paintings, sketches and photographs, each issue was anticipated eagerly and read aloud to all hands. It contains a mixture of the 'grave and gay', serious reports on the weather or fauna interspersed with cartoons, songs and articles that poke fun at members of the expedition, and presents an unsurpassed picture of a close and dedicated community. There were four volumes in all (two expeditions with two winters) each with four issues. The originals of volumes I and II (Discovery) were given to the Royal Geographical Society and published in 1907 in a limited edition of 250 copies each. The original of volume III (Terra Nova) is housed in the BL (along with Scott's Diary); it was published in 1914 in limited edition of 300 copies. The three volumes were reissued in 2002. The manuscript of volume IV is held in the Scott Polar Research Institute and is published here for the first time, together with Savours' introduction to all four volumes.
